The Delhi region requires little introduction as the major location for India’s legal system. The Delhi High Court has led the way in terms of becoming paperless; it is reported that it was embracing technology pre-pandemic so was ahead of the game. Under master planning schemes for Delhi, (in part to preserve buildings of historic importance) ‘satellite’ cities of Gurgaon and Noida grew up to form the National Capital Region (NCR) as two of the most important ‘satellite’ cities. Gurgaon has become a key information technology hub and is said to be the third largest financial and banking hub in the country as a result of this. It is also home to India’s largest medical tourism industry.The area generates much of India’s wealth; a large number of corporates and star-ups locate here and many Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Pepsi and Dell have a presence here. Integrated technology parks and modern office building continue to attract large international businesses, and the influx of foreign money continues to boost the economy. The NCR is home to a skilled workforce, not only in the tech industries but also in government agencies, hospitality and retail. Much of this applies also to Noida whose attractions also include that it is thought to be India’s greenest city with 50% green cover.All of the well-known full-service firms are established here and are ranked in the national ranking tables. Additionally, a number of smaller firms based in this area are listed here.
